BREVARD – The Transylvania County Schools Cycling Club will hold an open meeting for all interested riders, families and community partners at 5 p.m. Thursday at Brevard Middle School. Mountain biking is a big draw for families who live and play in Transylvania County, and public schools are making the sport accessible every year to new students who embrace it for life.

The meeting will provide students, and any community members, an opportunity to join the club that spawned a movement. Now in its fifth year, the TCS Cycling Club began with a few faculty members at Brevard and Rosman high schools who wanted to expose children to cycling. The idea was to support students who wanted a new way to get outdoors, then help them identify a group to ride with and provide support.

Membership in TCS Cycling Club is open to students of Transylvania County Schools.

Support from the school system to buy uniforms, bicycles from Sycamore Cycles, and the efforts of Blue Ridge Adventures and other partners to nurture the Carolina Youth Mountain Bike League helped the club take on some aspects of a team.
